jessor Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 First of all, hello to all users of this forum! Second, sorry if you can't stand people plugging their stuff, but since my plug is at least indirectly Monkey Island-related, I believe it merits a mention here. Here it is: August Jessor, my webcomic, is out now, and since the start of the project, I've thought that if anyone likes the comic, it will be people who like classic adventure games in general, and Monkey Island fans in particular. Actually, a little known fact about the webcomic is that it was born out of the script of a PC adventure game of the same name. The game project fell through, but the script lived on in comics format. And, although this is the first mention of that fact anywhere, many people have commented that the comic feels like an adventure game in comic format - with Monkey Island being the game that most people associate the comic to. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fealiks Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Wow! This is actually really good! Very well written and original. The art is something of a treat, especially considering that it is a webcomic. This looks very promising, I'm going to try and keep up with the issues! ...How do you pronounce words with ø in them?! On page 6 that character is used a lot. It's frustrating me. Damn you and your ø's! Good comic though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn you and your ø's! Good comic though Glad you liked the comic! The ø's are pronounced like the Queen of England would pronounce the letter 'u' in 'Turd'.

Kjølen Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 A ploy for my attention? Ill conceived! Welcome, Jessor, to LucasForums: The Monkey Island branch. Feel free to make yourself at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessor Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 A ploy for my attention? Ill conceived! Yes, well, you got me. But, as long as you're here, Kjølen, you might as well tell me what a ghost is in Danish. Is it spøke? Now, I know I'm making the assumption here that you are Danish. Also, I am displaying a considerable degree of laziness in not just finding that out by myself with the help of an English-Danish dictionary.

Fealiks Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 That is pretty lazy of you since English - Danish dictionaries are so readily available... I don't think he is Danish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Actually Kjølen isn't Danish, he just liked the name so much he couldn't get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjølen Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Well, I live in Minnesota. That's kind of like Norway. I use the name Kjølen from the Norwegian mountain range... in Norway. You have to admit, it's much better than "Guybrush M-T". Danish, though. Damn pastry. DAMN GHENT. *Esoteric* Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Are Asians allowed to live in Minnesota? I thought there were issues because of the Africa incident..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessor Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hmm... I'd better call Jesse Ventura for advice. I've come to suspect that the letter ø is Norwegian, and not Danish, after all. That's after I saw this page, which is full of names like Kjølen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjølen Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Are Asians allowed to live in Minnesota? I thought there were issues because of the Africa incident..? You're thinking of Rogue Nine. I'm no Azn. I'm a Polish Minnesotan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrMcCoy Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Aah, while we're at it.. how do I get skype working on my 64 Bit Debian? Skype is non-free, so I wouldn't recommend it. Try some other VoIP software... Anyway, if there are 64-bit binary, use them. If there are only 32-bit binaries and your system is a 64-bit one, you'd need a 32-bit chroot with all the needed libs. If we're going to be that way, then it was you who took over my home and killed my family! It was, but I fail to see a connection to my missing bike case. I want it back, NOW!

Ray Jones Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Don't you think I would use a 64 Bit binary if there was one? Free, non-free. I don't pay for it, period. I also use closed source nVidia drivers. And what you might miss out on is that it isn't about free or non-free, but to use it for those of my friends who run Windows, and Skype. Yes, and I know it reads the BIOS and dials home. Booo-hhhooooo, so they know my BIOS values and that I have porn on my harddisk. What they gonna do, tell my mom? :PPP Hm. I think the solution is at hand: I'll use WINE and the Windows Skype thinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, didn't Wine only work in a 32-bit environment, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessor Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 A sad confession: I used to worry about technology, too. Then I started doing webcomics, and realized that Linux and the GIMP just wouldn't be enough. I migrated to Windows and Adobe Creative Suite. And I'd like to say that life is better, but sometimes I cry myself to sleep over my lost penguin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Jones Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 First of all, there's the GIMP, then nothing, then less than nothing, then the absolute nada, then whatever. WINE compiles and runs on 64Bit, no problem I can think of. WINEX (CEDEGA-CVS) doesn't compile on 64Bit systems. They're losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
